For all the talk about Fox not being great from distance, Trae Young shoots .339 from distance this year and Fox shoots just a tick worse. Maybe the point is Trae actually isn't a great outside shooter.
True, but i think the broader point is that because they didnt have to give the swap back they likely keep a useful asset when Wemby is n his prime.

Hope you're right. I love how he teaches the team. You see less of him yelling at players as the season goes on and they've gotten smarter. Would love to keep him off the bench but we'll see.
I totally expect the Spurs to bring out these Tony Parker sets ASAP with Fox on the team. Devin should be in the Danny Green role of these clips.
One thing I never understood was how is Fox listed at 6'3 with Dejounte at 6'5?
He's definitely got great size for a point guard. Listed wingspan is 6'6.5".
I’d like to add that the choice is also between being there for the first couple of years of a legend / GOAT in Wemby versus playing on a contending team that MAYBE will win the championship and MAYBE getting playing time on that team.
no other team is gonna offer CP3 a starting role. He should just stay here for another season as a back up.
Those teams might not even give him consistent minutes as a backup. Too many unknowns for him to risk it.
yup, keeping CP3 for another year to mentor the young guys and also Fox makes too much sense if you ask me. I hope he sticks around.
I think CP3 might go ring chasing and it makes sense with Fox coming in. He’s worth keeping around solely for this free throws percentage to close out games.
Anyone know relationship / history between Pop and Fox?
The return for any trade of CP3 would be minimal because no one is giving up anything of substance for a 39-year old PG. The only possibility of a trade is if there is a contender that loses their starting pg for the year. Spurs could waive him towards the end of the season so he could join a contender, but nothing from what I've seen gives the impression he doesn't want to be here.
I think the Spurs would respect Paul's wishes if he wants to go somewhere else, and agree that we prob won't get any assets for him (probably be waived).
Time will tell...hope he sticks around but he came to play so I don't think he would like coming off the bench
I'm actually good with a Fox, Cp3, Vassell, Barnes, Wemby SL. 4 guys that can shoot the 3 and 1 who can attack the rim. You stagger Cp3 and Fox after the first 6 minutes.
It's not about assets. It's about using his salary as ballast to make another deal. I want them to stand pat, but if Paul wants out, I'd prefer they package him with seconds for a rotation player. Then the next team can waive him.
Idk, I could see CP3 wanting to go back home to LA to be with his family if he's not going to start for us tbh. Maybe go play with Luka and Lebron or back to reunite with the Clippers. He's on record talking about how it's been tough being away from his family and he really only signed with us to begin with because we were the only team willing to offer him $10.5M for one season of play tbh.
Damn...just watched some highlights Fox. I really didn't know he was that good of a dunker. Always fewed him more of a little bigger TP.
Top contenders don't need CP3.
The only CP3 trade that would make sense for both him and Spurs would be CP3 for Mitc Robinson straight up.
But even then, he's not a Thibs player.
I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on Robinson who's going to be back after the all-star break and see if Spurs can keep him healthy. Great player when he's available.
If it fails, he'll be on an expiring $12M contract next season.
Im always baffled when i read ^ this from many many posters here....
I mean, nba players are prideful and compe ive and it leads me to believe that Paul is taking ownership of his work and sees Fox as just helping the spurs (and himself) to be able to chase a ring here - right ing now -
not saying the spurs are the favorites or anything - but I hope paul is trying to win now- with the spurs and somewhere inside he believes this spurs team can fight and claw to a le...i hope he believes that and i know wemby does...
Yea i don't get it either, why do people want to send CP3 away to ring chase. It's like people think he's too good to stay in SA so let him fly away and be happy. Naw he signed here let him finish the season besides we kinda need him.
lol he wut
Raven has a raging hate boner for Castle, don't engage him.
It's the "classy" thing to do.
CP3 could've gone ring chasing any number of places, but he came here on a good deal for one reason...he wanted minutes. He wanted to play and feel like he was having an impact. And he has done his job in coaching this team, ESPECIALLY considering Pop's absence.
It was always in the cards that he could be moved by the trade deadline, and now the Spurs have (thankfully) picked up a player which makes him kinda redundant.
I don't WANT to send him away and hope he stays, but the Spurs owe him that respect if he is truly unhappy.
I must have missed that presser where the spurs confirmed this ^
unless you just made it all up and now use that as your founding logic for the rest of your opinion...
